Peek-A-Boo

Hello guys, it’s been so long. Heh. Hasn’t had the mood to blog recently. Been busy/lazy. Well, wouldn’t be blogging if not for the fact that I’m stuck home.
Am sick, it’s been so long since I last fell sick, never knew it could felt so bad. Throat’s swollen so badly I couldn’t swallow. Running a temp too and guess what? No doc’s around for the holiday. Groans.

Sick to the marrows. Hope I make it thru tonight. Haha ok that was too much. Can’t believe how boring it gets at home. Anyway, I was clearing my mail when I saw a mail from creative. You know advertising has begun to get too “personal” when you see such stuff in ur email.



In this case, Creative was promoting the longer battery life of it Zen players. Where "other players" was formerly used as a comparison, it has gone explicitly from that to "IPOD". WTH?

Some of you may say that there’s totally nothing wrong with this. To me… I t feels off. It’s feels as though Creative is taking a swipe at Apple, right…. Under the belt. It feels low. It comes across as kiddy name-calling.

But seriously, Creative should improve on their product styling. Look at the Zen touch; does it look “Zen” to you? The Ipod looks more “Zen” with it simpler and minimalist design.

Maybe it’s just me, but I love my Ipod. I just put the whole New Testaments inside. Cool eh?

Genting. Not.

Decided against going for the church camp. Yes yes, I know I was pretty excited and psyched up previously. But most of the Cell Group couldn’t make it. Feels really dumb to go myself eh? So, decided to withdraw. Look on the bright side! Now I have more cash/funds for my trip to Bangkok next year.

Haha. Looking forward to that already.

El Diablo.

Completed the two books I bought the other day. “I, Lucifer” by Glen Duncan and “The Fight Club” by Chuck Palahniuk. “I, Luc” was rather enjoyable. The Devil was the ULTIMATE rogue. Luc was given a second shot at redemption by the big guy upstairs. And naturally, he blew it. Choosing rather to enjoy his work and fruits of his influence on earth. Gives a new definition to the whole “Devil-may-care” attitude to life.

It’s been a while since I took up a pen or came up with any thing good. Naturally, it kinda eludes me, as to how I should talk abt the book.

I just feel… Drained every time I read it. It’s so intense. And when the Devil speaks, there’s this underlying tension and loathing towards Authority. You can almost picture him in the body of an old, less than successful writer. Spitting every line out with spittle forming at the edge of his lips, whenever an angel comes to persuade and attempts to steer him in the correct direction.

Lucifer has a warped view of stuff, convincingly obstinately kiddy view. Deadliest combo ever. He sounds as though he can get away with his way of doing stuff just by stomping his leg huffily and shouting a “ I Dun Wanna!”

Glen Duncan knows too much and he’s not afraid to show it. Twisting all the truth and the stories.

I… fear for his soul.

Fight club’s crap. It was a great movie. But book wise? Can’t match up with the Bell Jar. Good for a lazy afternoon read at most.

Link –out-

Removed the link for Rave Bikini. It just occurred to me how gay it’ll make me look when a stranger stumbles onto my blog. Sorry June. Maybe I’ll post the link to ur swimshop webbie when it’s up and ready.

Added a cute link though. You people should check it out. Hulk’s diary. Yup! Hulk as in the great big olive colored block of bricks. Funny.

By the way Sheila posted her project on Paris Hilton up on her blog already. Felt that it’s very professionally done. Why dun you guys head on down for a look and let her know how it is? Personally I was rather impressed.

Pots

Xiuru passed me a package yesterday. In it was two books and a pamphlet. Guess what’s the pamphlet about? Pottery classes! She passed me a registration from Clayworkers! So sweet right?

Haha. She and Terry make such a sweet couple.

Random Thoughts.

1. Breasts are soft. Really soft.
2. Felicia Chin looks really cool.
3. I have a rough idea of what to get for some ppl for the upcoming Christmas season.

That’s all for now. Feeling sick again.
